1.INSPECT OIL PUMP RELIEF VALVE
Coat the valve with engine oil, then check that it falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
If the valve does not fall smoothly, replace the timing chain cover assembly.
2.INSPECT OIL PUMP ROTOR SET
| *a | Mark |
Place the drive and driven rotors into the timing chain cover assembly with the marks facing upward.
Check the rotor tip clearance.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the drive and driven rotor tips.
0.06 to 0.16 mm (0.00236 to 0.00630 in.)
0.16 mm (0.00630 in.)
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing chain cover assembly.
Check the rotor side clearance.
Using a feeler gauge and steel square, measure the clearance between the rotors and precision straightedge.
0.030 to 0.075 mm (0.00118 to 0.00295 in.)
0.075 mm (0.00295 in.)
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing chain cover assembly.
Check the rotor body clearance.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the driven rotor and body.
0.250 to 0.325 mm (0.00984 to 0.0128 in.)
0.325 mm (0.0128 in.)
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the timing chain cover assembly.
